I’ll go a little against the grain here. I think that LLM chatbots will definitely find application helping lonely people, and some people will develop a real connection to the bot. A relationship with a bot might be similar to one with a human, but it will never be identical. So it won’t replace human connections, but that doesn’t mean it wont have significant utility and be meaningful to people.
